Emmanuel makiwa

I am a detail-oriented and analytical compliance professional with over three years of experience in KYC/AML, client onboarding, and financial risk mitigation. I currently serve as a KYC/AML Analyst at Goldman Sachs, conducting in-depth due diligence, regulatory analysis, and ongoing monitoring aligned with global compliance standards.

At Goldman Sachs I perform comprehensive due diligence on new and existing clients, escalate high-risk or suspicious cases with investigative summaries, and maintain audit-ready documentation to support regulatory reporting. Previously, as a Client Onboarding & Implementation Specialist at Foundever, I led end-to-end onboarding, identity verification, and AML file creation while liaising between clients, compliance, and operations to resolve issues.

My work emphasizes transaction monitoring, risk assessment, and timely remediation of KYC deficiencies to ensure jurisdictional regulatory alignment. I bring strong skills in data analysis, investigation tools, and process improvement to enhance compliance program effectiveness.

I am committed to maintaining accuracy, traceability, and robust documentation in all investigations and decisions, and to collaborating across teams to deliver compliant, client-focused solutions.
